After completing this tutorial, you should be able to set up a single, multi-core eZ Find instance with eZ Tika. This will allow you to index multiple eZ Publish sites along with virtually any file type, as well as take advantage of eZ Find’s extended searching and sorting functionality.

At the end of this tutorial, you will have understood how to plug-in a github.com code repository as main code repository on the eZ Publish extension forge : projects.ez.no, for new and existing projects.
